Environmental Protection

This sequence details the correct application of
protective coatings for strain gage installations in
a laboratory-like environment.
Coatings protect against moisture and other
contaminants which might affect gage stability. Both
encapsulated and open-faced gages, and their leadwire
connections, must be protected.
A protective coating should be applied as soon as
practical after gage installation even in an
air-conditioned laboratory. Several preparatory steps
generally apply to all protective coatings.
